Chapter 518 The n Failed
When Sarah heard that, she didn’t look pleased; instead, she frowned, as if confused.
But almost immediately, her expression returned to normal. She looked at Jean with clear<b>, </b><b>steady </b>eyes.
“In that case,e on up,” the teacher said, seeing how poised andposed Jean was. She nodded <b>in </b>approval and gently urged her forward.
Jean left her seat and walked straight to the front of the ssroom.
At that moment, in the eyes of the rest of the ss, the only thing worth noting was how two gorgeous <b>girls </b>were about to stand side by side–the view was just too beautiful.
Sarah’s gaze stayed locked on Jean the entire time.
She watched her walk forward, drawing closer with every step.
But Sarah’s brow furrowed slightly, almost involuntarily.
If her n had worked, Jean’s pants should’ve already been a mess.
And the short walk from her seat to the front of the ss<b>–</b>surely someone in the audience would’ve noticed something off.
Yet no one’s expression showed any surprise…
<i>Could </i><i>it </i><i>be</i><i>… </i>Sarah’s brow tightened even more.
In the blink of an eye, Jean was already standing at the podium.
The two girls stood face–to–face, just a breath apart
Jean met her eyes briefly, cool and calm, then turned to pick up a piece of chalk from the podium.
She nced at the question on the PowerPoint, the corner of her lips lifting ever so slightly.
She turned toward Sarah again, her tone light and half–amused. “You really couldn’t solve this one?”
Sarah’s eyes paused.
In that moment, she couldn’t quite read Jean’s meaning,
It sounded like a simple question, yet carried a hint of something oddly sarcastic.
And yet, there was no mockery or disdain in Jean’s gaze…
Her eyes were like crystal–dazzlingly clear and unguarded.
<i>No</i><i>… </i><i>Something’s </i><i>off</i><i>. </i>Sarah narrowed her eyes; inside her chest, it felt like a tangled knot had <b>begun </b><b>to </b><b>form</b>.
This wasn’t the Jean she remembered. <i>Wasn’t </i><i>she </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>arrogant</i>, <i>haughty</i><i>, </i><b><i>looking </i></b><b><i>down </i></b>on <i>everyone </i><i>with </i><i>condescension</i>?
Jean seemed like apletely different person now, from her <b>gaze </b>to her <b>entire </b><b>demeanor </b>

Chapter 518 The n Failed
Jean noticed Sarah’s silence and simply walked up to the ckboard, chalk in <b>hand</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>began </b><b>solving </b><b>the </b>problem in earnest.
The moment she turned around, Sarah finally got a clear view of her back.
Jean’s pants were spotless–clean as could be.
Sarah’s pupils flickered. <i>How</i>…
She had seen it herself–Jean sat down with zero hesitation or defense.
This trick was one she had learned from Jean in her past life…
A deeper shadow crept into Sarah’s gaze. <i>Where </i><i>did </i><i>it </i><i>go </i><i>wrong</i>? <i>Or </i><i>maybe</i><i>… </i>
Sarah found herself looking at Jean’s profile without meaning to.
She waspletely focused on solving the problem, her expression calm andposed. Her longshes drooped slightly, fluttering just a bit now and then.
<i>Maybe</i><i>… </i><i>she </i><i>already </i><i>knew</i>?
But now that it hade to this, there was no point trying to figure it out.
Sarah knew–her n had failed.
“All done.”
Jean turned around, ced the chalk back where it belonged, and dusted off her hands. She smiled brightly at Sarah. “Take a look–how’d I do?”
Sarah turned her head and nced at the board.
The handwriting was neat, the logic was clear, and the final answer was, of course, correct,
Sarah hadn’t truly needed help.
The problem was tough, sure, but easily within her skill level.
Pretending not to know the answer and asking Jean <i>to </i>assist had only been a part of her n.
Now that the n had failed, a strange sense of frustration settled over her. She gave Jean a distracted nod. “You did great.”
